Landis won several prestigious races this year, including the Tour of California and Paris-Nice. He passed all of the doping controls then. It doesn’t add up that he would pass all the tests up to and after Stage 17.

I used to be a Tyler Hamilton apologist (after all, he swore on his dead dog’s grave!), but after looking at the faxes between his wife and Dr. Fuentes, I’m more skeptical. With Landis, I’m still on his bandwagon. Occam’s Razor, in my mind, doesn’t apply here even if the B sample confirms the A sample. Elevated T/E ratios doesn’t imply doping; it is what it says, and those ratios can be explained by other means than doping.
